Her eyes sparkle when she sees something that interests her, and she has sharp teeth, her feet are very catlike, having claws and fur up to slightly above her ankles. She is slightly muscular, and has very strong legs. She often wears a pair of black jeans, tucked into a pair of knee-high flat boots that hide her feet. She wears a tight black shirt with a white skull sewed onto it. She often seems innocent and sweet when she's in a good mood, but looks more adult-like when angered or fighting. Although she can see in the dark, her vision isn't great,( shes got short range seeing) and wears glasses so she can see farther.
History: at a young age, Serra lived in an orphanage. She was often shunned by other children due to her unique characteristics, and found herself being ignored quite often. When she was ten, she wandered into an old antique shop, run by an elderly couple who accepted her as a friend, saying that she reflected both her mother and father. She felt pride and a sense of belonging with them, and they felt like family to her, although she only visited.
When she turned twelve, she had found a small glass bird, and brought it to the antique shop. She entered happily, but froze as a mean looking young man was behind the counter. She asked where the others were, and without a change of expression, he bluntly told her they had died and he bought the store. Although grieved, Serra brought the bird to the counter, attempting to make friends, but he just flicked it off the desk and it shattered, telling her that such items were useless. Enraged, Serra began stealing from the man, taking all of the treasures of the old couple that the man tried to steal, and hid them in an abandoned attic. She began living there, and soon began stealing from tourists. After remembering something her old friends told her, she decided to follow her dreams and spent her time on the docks, waiting for a pirate crew to accept her. Any who ignores her or turn her down often finds their treasure missing.
Recently, due to training from passing pirates, Serra has learned to use her weapons more efficiently, although she is very trigger happy. After being caught at one point by the antique shop owner, she had gotten chased by a group of marines that had been at the scene. She turned and found herself cornered. She attempted to escape by using her spear in a pole vault kind of way, jumping over them, but when she landed, the curved blade of the spear came down, striking a marine, and killing him.
Traumatized, Serra never left the docks, not even for her treasure, and never went back to the antique shop. She continued stealing, but became very cautious and discreet, especially around marines, wearing a hooded sweater to cover her head and face.
Finally growing tired of her discreet and hidden lifestyle, she stole away on a fishing boat, disguised as a male ship cleaner, and wound up in Alabasta, where she continued stealing, until caught by local police, but being in a half dead state from lack of water, let her go, believing she would simply die off. She found herself a job in a nearby carpenters shop, and began learning the ways of a carpenter, and started creating ship designs, which were often bought from her to be created by skilled shipwrights. She soon found a longing to begin working as one and make her own designs, coming up with her dream ship, the Happy Go Lucky. Her dreams of being a pirate, she thought, were one step closer now.
Personality: Serra is very kind and understanding to friends, but has a hate for business and things in that area. Due to her protectiveness of her old friends treasure, she keeps the attic safe and protected. Before moving to the docks, she blocked the attic off, waiting for a crew she could join to come find it. She is the kind of person to follow others, but let them know how she feels. She doesn't like dogs or swimming, although she knows how. She also doesn't like being yelled at. Serra is very loyal and obedient to those of higher power of her, and motherly of those younger or sick. Although she seems fairly normal on the outside, Serra constantly punishes herself and blames herself for others problems.

Special Abilities: serra often confuses her foes by hiding, and lashing out at just the right moment. She uses kicks because of the claws on her feet that can cause wounds, and will use punches if needed. She also loves long range weapons although she can't see without her glasses. Her strong back legs allow her to jump rather high, and she takes pride in this. She also has very sensitive hearing and touch to make up for her bad sight.

Weapons/Items: Serra uses pistols and a long spear that she uses more for catching fish than fighting. She also uses the claws on her feet to produce a mean tearing kick that usually leaves the target with a nice size wound.
Goals: to find her parents, build her dream ship, sail the seas, and eventually come back to Alabasta with a family.
